Blood Donation

All blood transfused in New Jersey is collected from volunteer blood donors.
Methods employed in New Jersey include rigorous screening and exclusion
of donors who are at high risk of exposure to AIDS and hepatitis. Each
unit of blood is tested by the latest FDA approved method for the presence
of the antibody to hepatitis and HIV viruses. These measures have proven
to be very effective.

Autologous (self) Blood Donation

Autologous blood donation refers to the practice of donating one’s
own blood for storage prior to a medical or surgical procedure. Directed
or designated blood storage refers to designating the blood of a specific
individual for use by you during a medical or surgical procedure.
